You have completed several dives using SCUBA apparatus and are ready for a deep dive in seawater. You have arranged to have tanks of heliox prepared for your dive. Heliox is a mixture of helium and oxygen. Oxygen at pressures much greater than 1 atm is toxic to lung cells, so you want partial pressure of a gas in a mixture is the pressure the gas would have if it existed by itself in the same volume. Dalton's law of partial pressures tells us that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases. (The density of seawater is 1,030 kg/m. Assume the air pressure at sea level is 1 atm.) keep the partial pressure of oxygen from your diving equipment at 1 atm or less during your dive. You will be diving at a depth of h= 41.8 m. What ratio of helium to oxygen, by weight, should you request for the mixtures in your tanks? The WHe - 0.77 Wo

The figure below shows a gas contained in a vertical piston–cylinder assembly. A vertical shaft whose cross-sectional area is 0.8 cm2 is attached to the top of the piston. Determine the magnitude, F, of the force acting on the shaft, in N, required if the gas pressure is 3 bar. The masses of the piston and attached shaft are 24.5 kg and 0.5 kg, respectively. The piston diameter is D = 10 cm. The local atmospheric pressure is 1 bar. The piston moves smoothly in the cylinder and g = 9.81 m/s2.
A basketball is pressurized to a gauge pressure of PG = 55 kPa when at the surface of a swimming pool. (Patm = 101 kPa). The ball is then submerged in the pool of water which has a density ρ = 1000 kg/m3. Assume the ball does not change in mass, temperature, or volume as it is submerged. Calculate the absolute pressure inside the basketball in kPa when it is at the surface. Write an equation for the pressure difference ΔP between the inside and outside of the ball when it is submerged a distance y below the surface of the water. Solve the pressure equation for the depth (in meters) at which the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the ball will become zero. At this depth the pressure inside the basketball is the same as the pressure outside the ball.

Consider two containers with the same volume and temperature. The first container is labelled "Dry" and holds "dry" air = a ratio of nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2). The second container is labelled "Humid" and holds "moist" air = the SAME ratio of nitrogen and oxygen, but also contains water (H2O) vapor. According to the ideal gas law, if the pressures are equal, the weight of the gas inside the "Dry" container will be

An aquatic organism needs to be neutrally buoyant to stay at a constant depth. Fish accomplish this with an internal swim bladder they can fill with air that they take in from the water through their gills. One complication is that the pressure in the swim bladder matches that of the surrounding water, but the water pressure changes with depth. Because the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure (as you may already know if you have studied the ideal-gas law), the volume of air in a fish's swim bladder decreases with depth unless the fish actively adds more air. ▼ Part A Consider a 3.9 kg freshwater fish whose tissues have an average density of 1050 kg/m³. To what volume in mL must the swim bladder be inflated for the fish to be neutrally buoyant at the surface? Express your answer in milliliters to two significant figures.

Consider the following experiment: 1.0 atm 1.0 mol N₂(g) 1.0 atm 3.0 mol H₂(g) ? The reaction chamber is initially divided by a partition into two unequal parts, as shown on the left side of the figure. The smaller volume contains 1.0 mol of N₂(g) at a pressure of 1.0 atm, while the larger volume contains 3.0 mol of H₂(g) at a pressure of 1.0 atm. The partition is removed, and the following reaction is carried out to completion in the combined volume shown on the right side of the figure: N₂(g) + 3 H₂(g) → 2 NH3(g). What quantities of which gases will be found in the reaction chamber after the completion of the reaction? (That is, what does the question mark on the right side of the figure stand for?) 0.5 mol N₂(g) 0.5 mol N₂(g) 0.0 mol N₂(g) 0.0 mol N₂(g) 0.0 mol N₂(g) 1.5 mol H₂(g) 1.5 mol H₂(g) 0.0 mol H₂(g) 0.0 mol H₂(g) 0.0 mol H₂(g) 2.0 mol NH3(g) 1.0 mol NH3(g) 2.0 mol NH3(g) 4.0 mol NH3(g) 1.0 mol NH3(g)
